Turns out that it's easier to get Dianne Feinstein to express grave concern about health care reform in 2009 than it was to get her to express doubts about the wisdom of going to war with Iraq in 2002:
KING: Is your president trying to seize this political moment because he has the votes right now and the political capital in the first year in office? And might he as a result potentially do more harm than good if you try to do this all at once?
FEINSTEIN: Well to be candid with you, I don’t know that he has the votes right now. I think there’s a lot of concern in the Democratic caucus. Senator Lugar’s point about the economy, the trillions of dollars that have gone into buttressing the economy, now we’re going to be dealing with regulation of the financial sector. What all of the impact of this is not yet known.
It's simply dumbfounding that Feinstein thinks Dick Lugar's opinions are more relevant to the people of California -- and the whole country -- than the views of the overwhelming majority of Americans who support health care reform with a public insurance plan option.
